testified that she had lived in Locust valley for
the last sixteen years, and that she and her hus-
band Kept boarding-house. They frequently
had $50 boarders. She owned the house and
about four or five acres of land surrounding

they leased to miners. On August 10Th she
started for San Francisco, en- route to New
York For three days she boarded with man
named Wheeler, who lived in San Francisco

left with her three children and baggage for
New York. Mrs. Ford then related the princi-
pal incidents that occurred on the road until she
arrived at Pittsburg. At that point Pondexter
was in charge of the car. He was very kind to
to her, and did many little favors for the chill
dren. She was sure he was the man she left the
children with in Steups restaurant.
Mrs. Mary Kenney with whom Mrs. Ford is
stopping, testified that she present when
PoindeXter was identified. " had Mrs. Ford's
arm, the witness said, and as soon as she
saw Poindexter she trembled violently. She
said to him : You are the man who was with
me on the carr and he replied, Yes,' but
quickly contradieted himself" The case was
adjourned until next Wednesday.

LONDON, September Sth.-It was curious
coincidence which led to the publication, in
the same number of the Times, OF Hurlbuts in
vitation to Gladstone to visit America and
Goldwin Smiths long letter arguing that Glad
stone fs-or ought to be-unpopular in the
United states. The Times cannot understand
why man whom it considers the representa-
tive of the principle of disunion here, and who
favored disunion during the American civil
war, should be invited to celebrate the triumph
OF union in America. There are good many
Englishmen,' says the journal, who paid the
American Constitution the compliment of be-
lievins in it and hoping for its triumph when
Gladstone was forward to declare that jefferson
Davis had created nation"
The Daily Ne10s which alone in London
breaches true Gladstonian gospel thinks his
letter appreciative of the unique compliment
offered him, but it believes that his Journey
would have been turned to his prejudice at
bame.
The Provincial Liberals express similar opin-
ions but some are rather more cordial for the
reason that underlying all other reasons for
Gladstone's refusal. his health would be un-
equal to the tremendous effort required for such
journey.
